Yes.
As I mentioned in the past, I used to do IT consulting for a lawfirm(s)....and being tax lawyers, they occasionally had a "sovereign citizen" type that would appear and have some detailed explanation on why they didn't need to pay taxes.
It is as you say: In one breath they say (correctly) the gov is a mafia -- and in the next they mention some arcane clause of Admiralty law and say that if they utter these magic words it will cause the judge to be forced to rule with them. The lawyers would generally politely turn these people away as its a lost cause.

I am all for self sufficiency and independence but these sovereign individual characters live in a bubble 🫧 almost as bad a college professor with tenure.

An artificial legal “person” is a dead entity. It is a legal fiction “persona” in the “theatre of commerce”, and it is under the foreign Admiralty Maritime Jurisdiction, the international “Law of the Sea”. On the contrary, you are born into your own sovereign Estate of body, mind, and soul. As a sentient man or woman you live within the sovereign Common Law Jurisdiction, the national “Law of the Land”.
